Christian Bale Weight Loss Routine:

Bale’s weight loss routine was a little more than extreme. This determined actor lived on an apple, a cup of coffee, and water every day. He followed this routine and eating habit for weeks. He took a few supplements too, to make sure that he gets the required amount of nutrients for his body.

Next step was to keep him stuck to this crazy regime. He realized that because of drinks and party poppings, his weight was increasing and he was becoming a bit bulgy.
